fps issues

hey there

im just curious,often when i play ill get a fps sitting at 15-20 in raids and dalaran on my computer but ocasionally it will jump way up to 45+. im just curious if anyone can give me an estimate of how well my computer should run with the following spec.

i mean its pretty decent but im not sure, games like counter strike, half life, l4d, CoD4 run better then wow which really throws me off.

FPS in raids and idling in Dalaran depends on your CPU speed, not graphics card. That's why most 3D games run lot faster than WoW in typical gaming PC. Your FPS is totally normal, and going up from 3GB will not give any notable speed boost.

Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.

The majority of those effects are GPU based (some CPU in view distance, though). I'm just surprised the CPU can handle the raw number crunching of raid combat (25-man? I don't think the OP said).

yes it is for 25 mans, 10 mans are usually a bit better (all i can say is screw you marrowgar)

my biggest reason for asking this is becaise when i bought this computer i used a website called system requirement labs (can you run it) and wrath of the lich king was seemingly blown out of the water. if anyone wants the site i can lin it, its kinda cool.
